To date, Austria still has a ban on the full column floor in the law, from then on this laboriously won achievement is history. With the support of the anti -animal FPÖ, the government plans to lift this prohibition today and to replace the fully column floor with a curl -hunted cosmetic, meaningless adaptations. This lodges the full column floor in pig farming up to at least 2060. A mourning day for animal welfare and pigs in Austria! Therefore, the VGT protests in the name of the entire animal welfare in this country in front of the parliament and holds a 17 m long banner “This is not a full-column floor!”.
VGT-OBSPERSON GDR. Martin Balluch is on site: “This is not a first step in the right direction. This is an extremely anti -animal step backwards. All animal welfare people in Austria are thrown up. The constitutional court, which cancel the previous provisions because they take into account animal welfare, the government shows the stink finger and takes into account animal welfare even less. With today’s decision, the full column floor in pig farming is concreted in until at least 2060. That’s 35 (!) Years. There is hardly any absurd longer transition periods!
“
And onwards: “Our attitude is very clear: away with this law, yes away with § 18 (2a) Animal Welfare Act, the prohibition of the unstructured full slot floor. This is not a compromise, not a first step, not a sustainable interim solution. This is a declaration of declaration of animal welfare. Success and now. Strasser posted.
